An accommodating spouse

When the Professor marries Hazel, Lady Carpenter warns that his new wife is so like her twin, Chloe, he will have trouble telling them apart. So inseparable are the twins that the Professor lives with both women under one roof. Into their generous and harmonious household return their daughters - triplets - fresh from their round-the-world travelling, and ready for whatever excitement they can grab next in their lives. Family life in the otherwise quiet house swells to a chaotic dazzling crescendo as the Professor struggles to keep in step with the seven women in his life and a strange request from Dr Florence. Witty, insightful and joyous, An Accommodating Spouse is a book to celebrate. (Description from the first edition dust jacket).
